Chapter 41 - What a lucky man!"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.." Jeanine and her husband sang for sleepy Leondre, holding a chocolate cupcake with one candle lit on top. Leo raised his head clearly confused, he rubbed his eyes.. not being fully awake. His blonde locks disheveled, he was just the cutest... Jeanine couldn't help but wonder what she had against this little angel in the first place. She finally understood, how it felt to be happy just by having the simplest things. Last night when Leo hugged her, she felt so overwhelmed. It was finally coming down to her that she had a grandson, the smartest little boy she knows. She was really proud and planned on resolving what she had started.Andre and Adela had to be together again."Happy birthday Leo." Jeanine ruffled his hair before giving him a kiss on his temple, he smiled; his dimples immediately becoming visible. Ben watched his wife being affectionate, he hadn't seen her so carefree in so many years."Thank you
Chapter 42 - Selfish is what she is.Felipé looked at his boss. He had never seen Alfredo like this in his whole nineteen years of looking after him. Not necessarily looking after him but being his shadow and protecting him from any harm.Alfredo heaved a sigh for what seemed like the hundredth time. Felipe was getting sick of it. Alfredo was watching his favorite telenovela, Forbidden Passions. He always repeated it and repeated. He felt it was somehow related to his sad reality, a dead first love and the second love refuses to be with him.If only he knew there was one love; Mila Riviera."No, Bruno don't fall for her, she will break your heart and leave you in a ditch. She is a selfish cunning Perra Bruno!!" Alfredo yelled at the large screen television."She is just so selfish. Selfish, I tell you. She knew what you both shared on that last night of bliss and still went to kill herself. Selfish is what she is." Alfredo added. Was he still talking about Forbidden Passions?"You pro
Chapter 43 - Tainted by the devil."You go to Roosevelt?" Lyle, Della's half brother questioned as Della drove to Andre's house. The boys had been conversing in the backseat of Andre's expensive looking piece of machine that he had allowed Della to borrow. Della on the other hand was excited, excited to see her sons reaction. He clearly wasn't expecting anything big for his birthday well clearly."Yep." Leo shrugged."I almost went there but my application was rejected because of... my mom's personal records…" Lyle shrugged."There do applications in primary schools?" Jeanine asked on the passenger seat. She had been invited to the party by Della and she didn't think Jeanine would want to ride with her here she was conversing with a thirteen year old and a seven year old."Yeah... apparently only those top notch schools." Lyle replied.Suddenly Jeanine turned to her, son's ex wife. "How did you do it Della?"Della was a bit taken aback with the question and not just the question but g
Chapter 44 - Please not Spencer too."More cake!!" One of the little kids at Leo's party pestered Mila. She gave an exaggerated sigh. Her mood had been ruined, her entire day had been ruined."Hey, are you okay?" Della asked her friend who had a sour look on her face. Before Mila could respond, she had one question."What is Molinero doing here?" She questioned."Well, Garreth asked me to add him onto the list. He is new in the city and hardly knows anyone-""Right.." Mila nodded, rolling her eyes. She didn't want to alarm her best friend so she decided not to say anything."I know you guys slept together-""No, Della it's alright." Mila assured her friend but what she really wanted to ask was how Garreth and Alfredo knew each other. Was she right all along, is Garreth part of the mafia? Just like Alfredo. Something was really fishy, she turned to look at Garreth who was talking to Spencer and Alfredo.Mila gasped."God, please not Spencer too." She whispered under her breath as it fi
Chapter 45 - You`re my woman nowSometimes you don't notice certain alterations only because you refuse to. When you love someone, you only see the superlatively good. When you have wanted and always yearned for a parent's love and it finally comes along. You couldn't be happier, a short childhood dream archived. From all the father's days that were missed. All the father's days that made Della miserably dread the thought of going to school. Not like Mother's day was any better with a mother like Marcela. Della was oblivious not a lot of things and she didn't see anything wrong. At the moment she just wanted to convince herself that she did not feel anything for Andre and move on with Spencer."He took me in and basically has been there for me ever since.." Spencer explained."But why didn't you tell me when we first met, now I'm starting to think my father put you up to courting me?" She replied."Mhm, it was a coincident. A very beautiful coincident." Spencer added. Looking around t
Chapter 46 - I`m going to make her pregnant."Spencer!!!" Garreth growled, clearly furious. "I have been calling you for hours and hours. Even Ignacio couldn't get a hold of you..""I was out." Spencer shrugged removing his blazer."Clearly, eating my daughter." Garreth spat. "You're forgetting your purpose. To help me run this business not jump around with my daughter."Spencer knew what would happen if he provoked this mentally ill man. Spencer shrugged, mentally rolling his eyes because Garreth was the King of tantrums."I'm sorry..." Spencer sighed, sitting on Garreth's white leather couch."Who told you to sit down, stand up Spencer! I'm talking to you." Garreth clearly wasn't in the mood.Spencer's annoyed meter was already beeping red as he heaved a sigh and stood up facing Garreth."What?" Spencer asked in a low voice. "I said I'm sorry."What came next didn't surprise Spencer. As Garreth's right hand struck his right cheek. It stung like a bee maybe because of the rings that
Chapter 47 - I pulled out.Time was going by fast. Della had dinner dates with Spencer, Leo spent time with his father. Andre would always treasure the moments when he would drop Leo off back home because that was the only time he could lay his eyes on her after the birthday party. He didn't understand why she was so distant with him. She looked away whenever he looked at her. She didn't look at him whenever they spoke. She was always at a distance away from him. Della was aware that she cared for Andre and that one way or another, he was her first love and they shared some sort of bond. Well on her side at least, she was afraid-She knew that she would easily give into him. He had this effect on her, he always did. It wasn't the way his baby blue eyes held her gaze or the way they fluttered pleasantly giving her a smile… the smile that she loves and adored. The dimpled smile that her son had inherited. Everything was going well at least.. civil so how did they end up naked in the mid
Chapter 48 - You haven`t been with a man in a while.His mind wasn't even there as he walked into his vast kitchen with a 'U' center island; granite counter tops and decorative ceiling. Removing his tie, he didn't look up. There were at least two upper stairs that led to the kitchen. It was was six am, yes he had slept at the office. It wasn't his intention maybe it was. He didn't want to come back to this huge house just so he could here the echo of his footsteps. The quietness got to him. He needed a smaller place, presumably a bachelors penthouse but he didn't want to let this house go. Della chose this house, it was their house, where they planned to share their lives together for the rest of their lives.He heard whistling, Andre shook his head. He thought he had told Maya and the other two maids to take a day off because he was hardly at the mansion and there wasn't much to do except keep it clean from dust and make his bed as the rest of the other seven rooms remained empty and
Chapter 93 - Epilogue.It has been quite the month of blessings. On my part for being given yet another opportunity to converse with probably my favorite family in Hollywood. A blessing on their part for safely bringing two Angels into this world. Speaking of Angel's, Heaven and Nevaeh Levetté are their given names. Yes, Nevaeh is Heaven backwards. Pronounced neh-veh-ah bet you weren't expecting that one now were you? We took to Wikipedia to get a more profound meaning—"An erroneous belief is that the name has an Irish origin, a variation of the name Niamh, which is still common in Ireland today; however, Nevaeh was recently coined and American. First off, the name Nevaeh doesn't have any meaning besides Heaven, so anyone saying it means Hell because it's Heaven spelled backwards is incorrect."Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to snap any images of Heaven and Nevaeh but you can already tell that they will look like they were sun-kissed by God himself. "I came up with Heaven and Andre w
Chapter 92 - I`m a firm believer in fate.Since they reunited, I know everyone has been wondering. When did Della give birth? When was she even pregnant? Is Andre the father? Just one look at the boy and you already know the answer to that one. I had the pleasure of meeting their son, such a sweetheart. He is so kind and playful, hide your boys and girls because I see an epidemic of heartbreak that will be caused by Le-Andre junior."The pregnancy ofcourse wasn't planned." Adela commented."I think it was.." Andre interjected.The couple argued for a bit concerning this topic. I couldn't exactly make out the confirmed truth and yes, this may sound vulgar but.. Adela claimed they weren't planning and Andre claimed he had done what he did purposely.. he just didn't think it would happen that quick."You never told me this.." Adela whispered. I managed to slip in some questions that any curious follower of this story would have wanted to know. They were really nice enough to let me ask t
Chapter 91 - We drank coffee.Life was great, soon after the wedding. The rumors died down. The public and media became a little easier on the newly wedded couple. "I learnt not to care.. about anything or anyone had to say. It was hard but at that point I was tired of trying to prove that I'm a good person or that I have good intentions." Adela commented."My million dollar advise!" Her husband said proudly beside her. It was a beautiful scene with Adela expecting, expecting I found myself swooning over this beautiful couple. They have taken so many shots from the public, media even from their own family and here they're at their happiest.The honeymoon went smoothly. We got some pictures of shirtless Andre and Adela in a bikini. Jealousy aside, they looked so good together. Media suddenly somewhat started writing some 'nice' things about Adela."Yeah, it was always about my body." Adela admitted. "They wished you were theirs.." Andre said defensively.During their first five months
Chapter 90 - I started all the rumors. People Magazine highlights. "To a certain extent I was jealous that my son loved another woman other than his own mother. I don't justify what I did but I hope this helps everyone find closure." Jeanine Levetté "I will always have regrets and one of them was neglecting the woman I love when she needed me the most." Andre Levetté "I'm just happy that the crucial time in my life where I felt hopeless and down has passed. It was the worst but it helped me grow as a person. I'm ready to move on to better memories." - Adela McCarthy Levetté "I'm going to have two sisters." - Leondre Levetté "I'd rather not comment on my brother's business. All I can say is everyone makes mistakes.. even you and I." - Luc Levetté "This is about what my ex-wife did and I was no where involved. I'm just happy it has been resolved." - Benjamin Levetté — Twitter Highlights. #LevetteScandal - If I was Della, I would have left him. periodt. - They love each other
Chapter 89 - It`s just an article. The phrase 'two sides to every story' has never been taken seriously. We jump onto every bandwagon, the cancel culture.. James Charles a true example of how toxic media can be but that's a story for another day. We as 'People Magazine' were the first to cover the Levetté scandal nearly eight years ago. It was a time to be alive, in a world where we thrive off gossip and the shaming of others. It was absolutely honor on my part as a journalist to be given the opportunity to cover the full story.. not the bits and gossip but the true story narrated by everyone who played a role in this frantic event. I'm gonna take you on a rollercoaster but first let's start with the boy we grew up adoring... the teenage heartthrob in our day. Jeanine Levetté and her husband Ben Levetté had always managed to keep their boys away from the media. Jeanine always said when the time was right, we would (fans) all see her kids more often. They loved their privacy even with
Chapter 88 - Marcela if you`re using him "Aww.." Della cooed at the tiny little energetic boy who couldn't stop moving his legs and flipping his arms in all directions. "Alfredo says he will be a soccer player." Mila said softly earning a laugh from her best friend. "He is too energetic.. "I can't keep up with him atleast Alfredo has been staying up all night." "Alfredo is such a sweetheart.." Della added putting Alejandro in a more comfortable position. He rubbed his eyes with his hand in a fist. Della couldn't really whom he would look like but that nose was definitely Alfredo. "He is... oops there he goes again. Hitting himself on the face and scratching himself.. he is only a month old." Mila said with concern. "You should put on gloves or make him wear his tiny socks on his hands. Leo used to do the same thing.." Della advised. "Alfredo says he is a fighter that's why.. i have a feeling he spoil him rotten." "Not if Alejandro has siblings—" she was immediately cut off.
Chapter 87 - My adopted son."I'm only allowing you to stay here because you're like a son to me. Also not ignoring the fact that you might relapse as soon as you walk out of my sight." Garreth said cautiously. "I have a thirteen year old staying here and I swear to God if you influence him or teach him anything... I will not hesitate putting my hands on you.""Thanks, I really appreciate it. Everything... you have done for me." Ignacio said rigid in his stance."Alright.." Garreth said softly. "Everything is all stocked up, I think you want to freshen up. Breakfast is in an hour. I'm bringing a barber to give you a hair cut..."Ignacio ran his right hand through his shoulder length voluminous jet black hair. He knew Garreth was right, he needed to start over. From his hair to his clothing to his attitude towards life."That's if you want to have a hair cut.." Garreth added."I do, I want a new start."Garreth nodded."Has Spencer reached out?""No.." Ignacio replied."If he does, let
Chapter 86 - His name is Alejandro Felipe Molinero.He couldn't quite figure it out.He just couldn't.Maybe it was in the way she smiled widely till her hazel brown eyes closed or maybe the pregnancy complimented her in all the right places; no maybe it was because he was head over heals inlove with this woman. Luc looked where Andre had his eyes glued. Della was just a simple normal woman.. he wouldn't exactly say she was the most beautiful woman, he had ever seen. She was just plain simple, maybe it was her personality or maybe yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.Luc nudged his brother who wasn't even watching their soccer match. Ben chuckled, at the scene. Andre couldn't keep his eyes off Della who was in the conjoined room talking humorously on the phone. She didn't even notice—"Ami, why don't you just go join your wife's phone call?" Luc finally broke into Andre's thoughts. Andre shook his head and denied it, concentrating on the Europa Champions League."Luc, don't be s
Chapter 85 - In sickness and health blah blah.Six months into the pregnancy."I'm glad you decided to stay for two more weeks. It gets really lonely out here knowing Luc, he is never home." Ben said as he took a sip of his green tea."Papa but I'm here!" Luc have his father a questioning look feeling offended."It's alright, I like it here so does Leo.. I just hope we return home in time to set up things for the twins.." Della replied."Goodness! Here I was thinking I would never have grandchildren. I'm truly so happy at this point, I don't mind dying. Well after the twins are born..""Grandpa!" Leo said with disapproval."He won't die, he just loves joking around.." Luc added but Leo was still concerned. He had spent so much time with Ben. He had learnt a lot of French phrases but pronunciation was still a big factor sometimes it even hurt to speak. Leo loved the new environment. At one point it had just been him and his mother but now he had two grandpa's, a grandmother, an uncle,
